Nutrition

#1 BreakfastEating
right on gameday is your secret weapon for top-notch performance. While
training and skill are important, your body`s fuel matters, too. That`s why you
need a nutrition game plan.

Breakfest, beeing
the most important meal of the day, should contain carbs and a source of
protein. Protein
helps muscle to stay strong, recover from intense exercise and build more
muscle over time. Be very carrefull with food poisoning because that is causing
you stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Snacks should be maintain
at a constant temperature, the lactate products should be stored in a
refrigerator or a cooler. Hydratation is another thing we should discuss, but I
will make a new post in the approaching days.

Below is an
example of gameday breakfast for a football team in pre-season stage.

Breakfest

Milk with 2 types of cereal

Yogurt

Jam

Raisins

Fresh orange juice

Ham (not pork)– cheese – butter

Boiled eggs and fried eggs

Fresh pepper

Banana

White bread

Croissant and cake

* Do not
use oil for frying the eggs. Butter it`s a good choice, used in a small amount.
